Topic: Yellow stool (Read 761 times)

Hello,Sorry to post again :-(I have been very anxious the last 8 months: I was somehow convinced I had a problem with my pancreas. I had a CT scan 6 months ago which was clear. This morning my stool were light brown but somehow well formed. But when I wiped, it was kind of yellow. How can this be ? I am just scared I have a problem with my liver or pancreas.

I had that for a little while. I'll just tell you what my doctor told me:

If it's not consistently red or "black and tarry" (ie more than a couple times), don't worry about it. Red and black could potentially be a sign of bleeding (as well as eating chocolate, licorice, etc).
